I know! that's what I keep saying, this is one of those once in a lifetime things. I'm sorry folks if I keep updating my find but I'm sure you'd be excited if you were in my shoes too.

108lbs for 200$ Big finds so far are MTT, Green Grocer, Town Plan, Market Street, Ultimate lightsaber duel

I'm not the only lucky one around here

I continued sorting today but really just looking for unique pieces and sure enough I have a good feeling that I've got Cafe Corner too. I've still got so much more to sort but man this has to be the biggest case of beginner's luck I've ever seen. I've only gotten into Lego around April right?

Crazy is not the word I would use...but those things aren't allowed here... Grrrrr.

Seriously, congratulations. We are all green (grocer) with envy.

I almost don't even want to read this thread anymore I'm so Jealous of @lordharrier

[lordharrier]

Sorry to ruin it for you folks. Can you imagine having never played with Lego until you were 41 years old?

I get home everyday and once i'm done with feeding the kids and other household stuff I go to my nerdcave in the basement with my daughter in tow. I feel like a kid again and I ask myself "What can I find today?" My little one has to ask me what's so funny? when I realize that I'm giggling to myself. I tell her "I found another house to build!" and she gets excited too "can we build it now? can we build it now?" "no honey I'm sorry, Daddy still has 100lbs more Lego to sort" "AWWW man.." she goes. Priceless.

'Jealously' does not even begin to describe how I feel right now lol. Congrats on that huge score!

Not that difficult for me because I didn't until I was 36.

Complaining about me posting on multiple forums, now WHO's bragging!? Good find, I'm heading to Target today after work, lets see what they got. I don't have any S6 figs.

Hehe, too hard not to brag on multiple sites. Good luck with the search. I do have some extras if you want, PM me if you might want to trade.

[turtle1173]

Although not as great as some deals here... I picked up a Green Grocer with Instruction manuals for $350. It's missing 1 minifig.

[dho7622u]

That is awesome turtle! Most of these bargains are truly anomalies. I have decided that I am no longer talking to lordharier or Lbrandon. They are just getting cocky now. ;)

Can I post about a lost Steal of a Deal then? I lost a sale of 120lbs for 250$.

This Sunday I was bored and went to Craigslist again at around 10pm and saw an ad for 120lbs for 250$. They said it was mostly star wars and they had instructions. There were 3 big bins with raised baseplates and if you looked you could see a Megabloks ship at first so I wasn't too excited but if you pay attention you could see the instructions for 10144 Sandcrawler. Then I saw what looks like the ship for 7994 City Harbour and the old school Jabba on top of the pile. Jabba means its either Jabba's Palace or the Barge... I just sold an old school Jabba for 30$ and I could probably sell the ship hull for some good money if it turned out to be nothing. I texted them at 10:45pm (I was ready to head out that night!) and got a response on Monday morning that I was third in line! man.. later that day they txted me saying that someone was coming but if they didn't show it was mine to pickup. Of course they sold the lot. So I hope it was someone here.

[lordharrier]

I posted this on Brickset as well so my apologies in advance to LegoBrandon..

I just hit another Lego Lottery: 550$ for a teenager's entire Lego collection, pix are here http://www.flickr.com/photos/lordharrie ... 671996582/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;.

There has been an ad for some Star Wars ships on Craigslist that I've seen but they were asking for alot .. I think they wanted 300$ for 7676 Republic Gunship. I checked again and they had dropped their price to 125$ so I emailed them and asked them what they had available. I offered and they accepted 300$ for 7676, CTT, Republic attack Shuttle and a about 5 other ships all with boxes, figs and instructions. I've learned my lesson from the last time, this time I asked if they had any more Lego they wanted to sell. They said they had some bins, but it was all mixed. I said "let me see them" and I see an AT-AT, Venator, Republic Cruiser, Twilight ... I say "How much?" and they say "250$" SOLD!! went to an atm, came back and loaded the car up.

It wasn't until I got home that I spotted the Jabba and some sails... no way! yes way.. there is a complete Sail Barge, 7675 AT-TE,..its crazy I have to start documenting and cleaning..loads of dust. I still haven't finished my last haul but this was too good to pass up!
